[Gofriends] Redundancy in go_XXXXXX-assocdb-tables/dbxref.txt

[Mike Cherry]

There is a change coming to the format of the gene association file  
which will solve this problem.  Annotations to proteins, gene,  
transcripts, etc for a particular locus will be identified as such.   
The change should occur in 2009.
